Known Problems and Limitations
Using an I/O address of 0x330 causes the Solaris aha driver to be selected instead
of blogic native mode drivers. These cards have not been tested in Adaptec
AHA-1540 mode.
Do not run the drvconfig utility during heavy I/O involving disks and tapes
because doing so can cause data overrun errors.
Data overrun errors may occur under high stress when your system is configured
with multiple disks.
If problems occur during Solaris installation, set the Interrupt Pin number of the
“configure Adapter” option in the BusLogic AutoSCSI utility as follows:
Slot Interrupt Pin
0A
1B
2C
For more information, see the sections “Configuration for Non-Conforming PCI
Motherboards” and “Handling Motherboard Variations” in the documentation that
comes with your PCI BusLogic board.
Early versions of Rev. A, B, and C of the BT-946C may not work with the Solaris
operating environment.
Upgrade to at least Firmware 4.25J, BIOS 4.92E, and AutoSCSI 1.06E, if you have
BT946C Rev. B. Upgrade the controller to at least BT946C Rev. E.
Configuration Procedure
BT-946C, Rev. A and B Only
Insert the board into the bus master slot, and using the AutoSCSI utility:
Set the “Adapter BIOS Supports Space > 1 GB (DOS) only” option to Yes if the
boot disk is larger than 1 Gbyte.
Put the adapter in ISA-compatible mode by setting the value for “Set Host Bus
Adapter I/O Port Address as Default” to No.
Ensure the Advanced option “BIOS Support for > 2 Drives (DOS 5.0 or above)” is
set to No.
